I will not force my child to participate in sports.

I will remember that my child plays sports for his or her enjoyment, not for mine.

I will encourage my child to play by the rules and to resolve conflicts without resorting to hostility or violence.

I will teach my child that doing one's best is as important as winning, so that my child will never feel defeated by the outcome of a game/event.

I will respect and show appreciation for volunteer coaches who give their time to provide sport activities for my child.

I will never ridicule or yell at my child for making a mistake or losing a competition.

I will remember that children learn best by example. I will applaud good plays/performances by both my child's team and their opponents.

I will never question the officials' judgment or honesty in public.

I will support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from children's sporting activities.

I will respect and show appreciation for volunteer coaches who give their time to provide sport activities for my child.
